Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming MIAMI ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 6) |

New Dual Credit Policy Hidden from Public Until Vote
The board plans to vote on a new Dual Credit Policy under Item 4.H that has not been made public with the agenda. This practice prevents parents and taxpayers from reviewing the policy’s potential impact on students and district finances before the vote.
Response
Contact the MISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘Please postpone the vote on Item 4.H, the new Dual Credit Policy, until the full text of the policy is posted publicly for review. Texans deserve to see what you’re voting on.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

Financial Report Withheld from Public Agenda
Under Consent Agenda Item 5.D, the ‘Activity Fund Balances’ report will not be available for public review until the meeting itself. Bundling undisclosed financial documents into a consent agenda, which is typically passed without discussion, prevents public scrutiny of how the district is spending money.
Response
Contact the MISD Board (see district website for contact info): ‘I demand Consent Item 5.D be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Financial reports must be published with the agenda, not hidden until the meeting.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Financial Transparency

School Refocuses on Core Mission, Ends Senior Trips
The board is considering a recommendation to end school-sponsored senior trips starting with the class of 2029. This policy would reduce district liability and potential costs, ensuring school resources are focused on education rather than organizing and funding travel.
How to Lock It In
Show up to support this common-sense policy under Item 4.G. Thank the board for focusing taxpayer dollars on education and reducing district liability.
✅ Why It Matters: Reduced District Liability
